Npm bcrypt and meteor npm bcrypt madness

jamgold · September 20, 2018, 12:58am

I am running meteor npm install and it seems binding.gyp can’t be found, which breaks the node-gyp build. When I do the same thing on my Mountain Lion Mac Pro at home it works

jhm at macpro in ~/M/test17                                                                                                                                               17:55:59
 m npm install bcrypt --save

Did you find a solution to this?

captainn · December 21, 2018, 7:39pm

The solution to this is to have node gyp build tools installed.

For macOS, have XCode and command line tools installed seems to be enough. (Make sure to run Xcode at least once to finish set up)

For Linux (Ubuntu/Debian specifically) sudo apt-get install build-essential - it’ll probably be similar on other Linux platforms - check the notes for node-gyp.

For Windows, install node, then use npm i -g windows-build-tools which will fetch the necessary things to get everything building. You might be able to use meteor’s bundled version of node to do the same - I haven’t tried it (meteor npm i -g windows-build-tools).

Still randomly getting this error. Super frustrating that going into 2019 that this error pops up all the time for no reason. I’ve installed bcrypt more times than I can count.

theara · January 3, 2019, 9:38am

I still have this problem.
I try any solution via these issue, but still not work.
(Base on Meteor 1.4x)

I try on 2 My PC (Mac).
But the first PC work fine, second don’t work???

captainn · January 7, 2019, 9:05pm

Do you have XCode installed, and have you run it (and installed command line tools)? Secondarily, has XCode been updated recently, and have you run it at least once after update to finish the update?

captainn · January 7, 2019, 9:06pm

If you are on Windows, try installing windows-build-tools globally through npm: npm i -g windows-build-tools - on Ubuntu/Debian install build-essential apt install build-essential.

theara · January 8, 2019, 4:38am

I installed ready XCode, Command Line Tools (Work fine).

captainn · January 9, 2019, 8:30pm

iirc, the thing to watch out for is that when XCode updates, the command line tools are uninstalled (sometimes). Usually you just have to start XCode after an update in order to get everything working again.

theara · January 10, 2019, 12:45am

When I tried create new with Meteor 1.7x, 1.8x, It work fine.
(Problem on Meteor 1.4x)

theara · January 10, 2019, 1:41am

I reinstalled xcode CLT, but still don’t work

I don’t think bcrypt 3 supports node versions that old. Try with bcrypt@2?

Now work fine meteor npm i -S bcrypt@2.0.1.
Thanks for all

gwened · May 2, 2019, 6:17pm

I made the mistake to install bcrypt to get rid of the message displayed on server startup.
It broke my app on legacy browsers, especially Safari, because of its dependencies using ES6. The automagical code transpiling of Meteor didn’t help this time.
See details here https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/7474#issuecomment-488775385 .
